Created At
The Created At field automatically records the date and time when a record was created. It is filled by the system at the moment the record is first saved and cannot be edited manually.
How to Add
- Open a table and click Fields in the top bar.
- Click + Add existing field.
- Select Created at from the list.
- Click Save.
Capabilities
- Automatically capture the timestamp when a record is created
- Display creation date and time in the table and on the record view
- Use the field in filters, sorts, and automations based on when records were created
Use Cases and Examples
Sorting by newest entries — Sort a table by Created At to always see the most recently added records at the top.
Time-based automations — Trigger an automation when a record has been created for more than X days without being updated, using Created At as the reference point.
Keep in Mind
- The field is read-only and cannot be changed after the record is created.
- The timestamp reflects the server time at the moment of creation, not the user's local time.
- Created At does not update if the record is edited. For tracking the last modification time, use the Updated At field.
FAQ
